Nawazuddin Siddiqui on returning as Inspector Jatil Yadav

Talking about returning in the sequel, Nawazuddin said, “Jatil Yadav is a character that resonates deeply with me - flawed and restless, yet relentless in pursuit of justice. In the sequel, he faces a case that challenges everything he believes in. Smita and Honey have created a world that feels raw and real, where every clue hides a secret. Coming back as Jatil Yadav feels like unfinished business. I’m grateful to RSVP, MacGuffin Pictures and Netflix for letting me explore new layers of this character.”

When and where to watch

The film is set to have its World Premiere at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa this November. The release date of Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders on Netflix is yet to be confirmed by the makers.
